You'll need to manually delete the two database files.  These are in your
data directory - the troubleshooting guide explains where to find that.
They will probably be called "hammie.db" and "spambayes.messageinfo.db" (the
configuration pages would tell you exactly).  Just delete them or rename
them and next time you start up you'll have a fresh database.  (It's best to
do this when SpamBayes isn't running).

Then just start training again, and after a few messages all will be well.
